Hear me loud and hear me clear. Failure seems so close, so near. I don’t know what to do. It seems like there’s so much I’ve lived through. There cant be much more. I cant see how. My life is lived on a skinny limb, a bending bough. Soon it will break and I will fall. No more time spent with my friends at the mall. But that’s ok. I don’t mind. I can see well, I’m not blind. I know that these things happen everywhere to everyone. I know that some people never see the sun. I know that it can get better. I know that it will. Because I have the power. But still I wonder what life will be like when all my hopes and dreams die. It will be like a mathletes life with out fractions or pi. A cheerleaders life without the football team. A dancers life without music. My life will be empty. But I can overcome it… can’t I?
